Get Inside the Industry at Metal Insider

We’re at New England Metal and Hardcore Fest! Here are set times

The weekend is upon us, which means Metal Insider is in Worcester for the New England Metal and Hardcore Festival! As the media sponsor of the Fest, that means we’ll have a table set up and we’ll be all over the Palladium for the next three days. You’ll be able to pick up a complimentary Metal Insider sticker, and we’ll also have our first-ever run of buttons available. You’ll be able to give us info about your band for Amplified (or drop off music), and we’ll also be taking signups for our weekly newsletter. We’ll also have some excellent stuff to give away each day of the fest, including Record Store Day vinyl from Spinefarm (Atreyu, Venom, Electric Wizard), merch from Saturday’s headliners Testament and Exodus and a signed poster from Sworn In! All you’ll have to do is stop by and sign up to be entered, but we’ll enter you again for each button you buy!

Tickets are still available for all three days, and you can get them here:
